The version recommended here is 6.2.15 which is also the version in the Fedora 10 Repository.
Version : 6.2.15.2.20080818svn.fc10 Just do a "yum install boinc-client boinc-manager" (without quotes) as root. That should do it. |

Too bad the (K)Ubuntu repo still has a very old version.
----------------------------------------Just added the Debian repo and updated! Watch out, after updating the boinc-client boinc-manager remove the Deb repo or your (K)Ubuntu could get screwed up because of other Deb upgradable packages. Cheers and happy crunching   |

This is a good site for deb packages.
http://www.getdeb.net Boinc from here is 6.4.5 A little too bleeding edge for me. |
